That's okay, you are new to this platform. Asking people to follow just for follow feels like you are valuing neither the content of the other person, nor that of your own. That way the only followers you'd gain are exactly the ones you don't want, if you intend to grow and progress on Steemit. What I can recommend instead, is to really find the things YOU find interesting, and then add to it, by making constructive comments, asking questions, or engaging in the interaction in other positive ways. That way you'll find like-minded followers who are actually interested in what you have to post. Just my advice.
